Welcome.  Our Adult Sunday School class promotes spiritual growth through Christian education, inspiration, fellowship and critical questions. 

There are times when discussions about biblical history, faithfulness, social issues and the challenges we all face in various stages of our lives –

invite deeper truths.  There are also times when all that we are – our hopes, regrets, sins, dreams, sorrows, memories, indifference, confusion

and clarity – comes together in the gathering of God’s people surrounded by grace and bound together and nourished by renewed faithfulness. 

 

The reality of living is that none of us ever manages to make 100% percent of ourselves fully at home in the presence of the Father, Son, and Holy

Spirit.  Like all congregations we experiment and practice many ways to say to our members and friends, “We love you.  We’re thankful that we

are able to worship with you from week to week.  We’re a church made up of people with many beliefs, but one faith.  This is an invitation to join

us at Memorial Christian Church -- the family of God here – welcomes you.

 

2008-09 Program:   Branding is an interesting marketing tool that is used to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and

to differentiate them from those of other sellers.  That’s a pretty simply way to describe what branding is, but it doesn’t give you the whole

picture of what branding is really about.  Branding is not about getting your target market to choose you over the competition.  It's about getting

your prospects to see you as the only one that provides a solution to your problem. 

 

                   Jesus forged a new spiritual path.  It was radical and inviting.  It was contemplative and active.  It was rooted in the sacred scriptures of his

religious traditions and history, but open to anyone willing to take the step or risk to come closer.  No matter what you believe about Jesus or

how you feel about the movement that bears his name, the Adult Church School class will provoke you to take one step closer to knowing him. 

When you understand and live out the way of Jesus you can take the step to live out a faith that is marked by Jesus’ brand.  You decide what

comes next.

 

  Sept. 14 – Oct.26, 2008:  A New Earth.  Echart Tolle presents readers with a look at the current state of humanity.  Humanity now, perhaps

more than any other time in history, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. 

 

  Nov. 2-30, 2008:  Unbinding the Gospel.  This study will be an introduction to a more hopeful, powerful and joy-filled way for people to learn

to share their faith.  Many of us, cringe when we hear the “E” word (evangelism).  This series of discussions will challenge, tease and charm us

back into telling our stories of God’s faithfulness and grace.  (A participant guide for the study is available for $12.00).

 

  Dec. 7-28, 2008:  Our Favorite Hymns.  Come hear the stories and origin of some of your favorite hymns.  It’s also an opportunity to learn how

the writers and musicians of these hymns were influenced and tested by their own struggles and joys with faith and faithfulness served to nurture

some of the most beautiful music and words we ever heard.
